Crumpet is the owner of Big A (mom), Da Mao (dad) and her two cats (Rosemary & Truffles). Crumpet enjoys watching Russel Crowe in GLADIATOR and is secretly plotting to take over the world.

TEAM MIA

Da Mao is a thirty-something Dude at a Gigantor Comic Distributor.
Although he enjoys reading comics, he actually lives for good food, good music and
the utter destruction of the Bush administration. He also likes cheese.

Big A likes happy endings, which is one reason why she writes romance novels. She spends her workdays at the Fabuloso Book Packaging Kingdom.
A (lapsed) green belt in taekwondo, she swears she's going to start kicking butt again. Really. Maybe next month.

Rosemary is one of the two cats in residence at Casa de Crumpet.
A stylish tuxedo cat, she is skittish yet adorable, and sports
a world-class set of whiskers. She is fond of the second-floor bathroom and the tummy-rubs to be found there.

Truffles, sister to Rosemary, is the other cat. She is large and fluffy and
lovely and bulimic, and doesn't care who knows it. She also is prone to
setting herself on fire and is overly fond of pickle juice.

Crumpet meets Satchel and Bucky

Crumpet meets friends from Get Fuzzy (no, you can not buy these plush toys. They are one of only a few handful factory prototypes ever made in the world. Their net worth is probably higher than our house)

After mom, dad & La Gringa left we're alone to deal with Crumpet ourselves. How quickly we forget how nice it is to be able to hand her off to someone else for a few hours? A las we game on soldierly. Signed up to Netflix(tm). Since Crumpet's first ever movie was Gladiator we decided her second will be something less bloddy and watched Shrek 2. It has a few moments but I was disappointed with the movie. Two things that bugged me: 1) Much of the jokes were a re-hash from the first movie; 2) overuse of pop songs to tell the story (I counted at least 9 songs, even though give them credit for using Tom Wait and Nick Cave in the same movie). Thumbs down.

Continue to eat well. Made our favorite roast chicken (adapted from Marcella Hazan's Essential Italian Cooking - or known as The Bible in this household)
